BAR Damages Her Faith

Re: Ziony Zevit’s “Was Eve Made from Adam’s Rib—or His Baculum?” (BAR 41:05)

I write to express my disappointment with your magazine. I wish to cancel my subscription.

Many of the articles published in BAR do not accurately reflect what the Bible teaches. Come on now, Eve being created from Adam’s penis bone, rather than his rib? That is plainly not a Bible teaching. I wonder, then, what other articles BAR publishes are filled with speculation, rather than Biblical truth. I do not need and will not read articles that damage my faith or attempt to cause me to doubt what I know is the truth from the Bible.

Never Purchased a Tabloid Magazine

How does Ziony Zevit’s article have anything remotely to do with Biblical archaeology?

I have never purchased a tabloid magazine in my entire life—and I have no intention of ever doing so. I certainly didn’t realize that was what I was doing when I subscribed to BAR.
